Thank you, Poli.

Do you think that "sponsorship" is broad enough to cover what "obra social" means, at least in Spain?

I have the feeling that "sponsorship" elicits an underwriting of sorts while "obra social" is, at least in its origins, a more altruistic and wider concept.

I have the feeling that "sponsorship" seeks for a return while obra social is, at least in it´s origin, a more altruistic and wider concept.

What do you think?


Note: please feel free to correct my grammar and sentences, nothing can help me more. There is nothing I value more.:)

I am sure that corporate sponsorship is the best term for when big
companies give back a little bit to the community in the form of charity or
cultural events. The prestigious Encores program at City Center in my home town is sponsored by Newman's Own for example.
